‘The Office:’ Thank you for more brilliant one-liners

Included among Michael Scott’s greatest one-liners  like “The only message I am sending is: Gay, good.” and “I only give my organs to my real friends. Go get yourself a monkey kidney!”  will be one of these from last night:

 “Wham! His cappa is detated from his head!”

 “I lost Ed Truck and it feels like somebody took my heart and dropped in a bucket of boiling tears . . . hitting my soul in the crotch with a frozen sledgehammer.”

Heck, put’em both in. This week’s “Office”  “Grief Counseling”  was all about the jokes.

Jim and Roy also started their courtships of Karen (they finally said her name) and Pam, respectively. It surprises me that Roy is having an effect on Pam. You could tell in the last episode, when Pam was having the “Fashion show! Fashion show! Fashion show at lunch!” that when Roy walked in, Pam jabbed him with a little smile. And then tonight, Pam looked comfortable out there in the parking lot with Roy.

As far as Jim and Karen, well, it just doesn’t have the same ring to it as Jim and Pam, or even Pam and Jim, does it? So are they Jaren? Karjim? No, KaJim!! They aren’t, yet, but nothing beats Dwangela. (Monkey)

This guy from California named Justin made an excellent observation of Pam’s MySpace page. He said that Jim and Pam are “drifting further and further apart.” I wonder how many more episodes before they see each other. Do I smell an episode titled “Company Picnic” this season?

That was another really funny bit in the conference room. My sides didn’t hurt, but that’s OK. It was funny enough. Brilliant how Michael got the joke on “Weekend at Bernie’s,” and how Ryan was shaking his head when Kevin was continuing the joke. Female boxer is somewhat subtle. Musafa teeters on the edge. But that whole “Weekend at Bernie’s” bit. Yes, Kevin, Yes!

Some other memorable one-liners:

 “I don’t understand. We have a day honoring Martin Luther King and he didn’t even work here.”

 “Toby killed this bird and now we’re going to honor it.”

 “What is the matter with you?!?! Is that the beak?!”

The bird funeral at the end was so priceless. Pam was joking, kind of, to some extent, but she also knew her words would touch Michael. So her eulogy  PUN ALERT  killed two birds with one . . . glass door?

PS: I’m totally cheating here. I’m posting this at 2 a.m. hours after my initial post. But I just watched the deleted scenes on NBC.com and I missed probably the best Michael Scott one-liner:

Society teaches us that having feelings is bad and wrong. That’s baloney. Grief isn’t wrong. There’s such a thing as good grief. Ask Charlie Brown.
